Marcy,
You know I think you're right about this. I came to Purdue as a (relatively, by
Canadian standards) reticent, self-effacing, polite person. After almost four years
in the U.S., I've become a (very relatively, by U.S. standards) brash, self-promoting,
just-this-side-of-obnoxious individual. If I'm not careful, I'm going to lose my
Canadian passport.
